I was experimenting a bit and came across a scenario which may be helpful for someone. I created a directory main\java, which was created as a maven source directories as suggested by Intellij by default as shown in image.main\java Then i marked src as source directory and i do not get option to create new servlet under created java directory.
So in this particular case if you want to create servlet then first go to, "Mark directory as > Unmark as sources root". Now you can create servlet inside java directory as well.

This is because the folder on which you're invoking the context menu is not marked as a "source" folder.

One way of marking it is to right-click on it (in your case the "java" folder) and choose "Mark Directory As > Sources Root".
